 The front frame is milled from a 20mm aluminum plate, note that most of this material is removed. This needs a better (stiffer and more powerful) router or a lot of patience than what is required for the sheet metal parts. The good news is, if you are OK with mounting the flight computer on the frontside of the instrument panel (like for example the Butterfly vario, versus behind the panel as most instruments) you can do without the front frame. ​ The front frame is milled from a 20mm aluminum plate, note that most of this material is removed.

 The flight computer can be mounted from the frontside of the instrument panel (like for example the Butterfly vario), or from behind as most traditional instruments with an optional front frame shown above. Of course a milled aluminium front frame is not mandatory, you can also use black POM or print it with a 3-D printer. ​ The flight computer can be mounted from the frontside of the instrument panel (like for example the Butterfly vario), or from behind as most traditional instruments with an optional front frame shown above.
